8:30 am
colton goat, a history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history that you semitism starts july 2nd on d, w. ah, ah, the pandemic has many unanticipated side effects on emissions on work, travel, and ball. so what was the environmental impact of the pandemic? i'll topic on this week's cove. it 19 special in indonesia, for example, illegal deforestation increased. but 1st,
8:31 am
the corona virus on animals do animals that humans infect each other. and if so, what cannot teach us? scientists in the netherlands want to find out the province of flavor land in the heart of the netherlands. dotted with fails of tulips, canals and modern architecture. but flavor lands, capitalist that isn't just home to exotic concrete structures is also whether possible future shape of the cov 19 pandemic is being sketched out. we such is at the walk in england by a veterinary research lapse. looking at the way, saw covey to behaves in animal tissue now. and how it might behave in the years to come macrophages to be new, to study, or all kinds of animal species that may be infected, the shore score of herbs to. so 1st look readily, she symptoms or source groan of ours to win his animals. and if you see dirt or dust, these animals were that are infected and also
8:32 am
a rather very good spread to the vars. wim vanderpool has studied the disease, for example in hamsters which can be infected by coven 19, and pass it on to us symptoms and the rodents are not that different than in humans . they include lethargy, weight, loss, and shortness of breath. this is what the lung tissue from a hamster infected with. coven 19 looks like. by testing how viruses behave in animals, the scientists can anticipate and estimate how great a threat they might all supposed to humans. the question of whether an animal is able to spread, coven 19 is an important one. the more virus cases there are. whether in animals or in humans, the greater the chances the virus will mutate. trying to reconstruct infection chains is very complicated. one theory, some scientists in china proposed for the origins of the a micron variant, for example,
8:33 am
is that the variance predecessor could have leaped from humans to mice. a process known as spill back. i think it could have mutated in the animals into our microns immediate ancestor, which then jump back from mice to humans. and my son, not the only suspects, actually are quite a number of any must be, she said, as susceptible or to the virus. the question is always whether or not it is only an initial infection or whether the animal will also be able to transmit the virus to other species or the same animal mnc. do you have the ability to transmit cove it? this is what the corona virus looks like in them. after being fast reported in the netherlands in february 2020 cove, it 19 ripped through many populations in european farms. when the virus mutated in the animals began infecting staff, the farms, then monks government, drastic action, and called every farm menke in the country. millions of them in denmark or in the
8:34 am
mink outbreak, we saw that the virus changed in a way that it could be. it could become more infectious to people and could also spread more rapidly in people. so use animal. the transmissions can be very important and can be very risky for protocol reasons. in the u. s. research as a now looking at the potential threat posed by white tail deer, which may yet prove problematic for the course of the pandemic. the world health organization currently estimates that one in 3 of the animals across the whole of the u. s. have been infected with coven. 19. that's in the wake of an outbreak that started mid 2021. 1 paper, not yet peer reviewed reports, a case with a virus is thought to have jumped back from deer into humans. and other danger is that there could also potentially spread the infection to domesticated livestock, which would further increase the risk of exposure and spread in humans. the
8:35 am
bargaining and research is the trying to predict and possibly prevent defense like that before they can occur. it's a difficult task. while i hope that our modeling can help us to bring us a step ahead of the, of the virus in the future, because at the moment me, ah, we wait until a new variant arise. and then we respond to that. getting one step ahead would allow vaccine developers time to test and tweak faxing alternatives. it could also provide early warnings to public health officials to prepare infrastructure. a central aspect of managing any pandemic that their virus will change as a given. but being able to anticipate those changes and prepare for them could help save lives. how illegal logging has long been a problem in indonesia. but under the pandemic, it's grew worse. in part because many communities tend to logging to
8:36 am
survive. who me? ah, when coven 19 hit indonesia, the country faced another outbreak? deforestation. a report shows 50 percent more forests were played in the 1st 20 weeks of 2020 than in the same period a year earlier. indonesian environmentalists like early artists see again say this spike in deforestation was no coincidence or brawl. the non us legal i need of than when we talked with you authorities in several regions. they said that when they were in lockdown during the pandemic, they weren't able to do their jobs as usual, abby saw back the past as the part b, b, as i, most of them were working at home. them would yen walk on the board, do go young, yellow me by the so the authority said it was difficult for them to monitor the
8:37 am
forrester. my c, r o i d, been vomiting by on board michael gun when he thought he holy answers see a gale and says that forest patrols also fell victim to budget cups. during the pandemic and the economic downturn had another effect on that originated in the cities, as unemployment grew in urban areas, during locked down many migrant workers returned to their villages. putting further pressure on forests alcala. dairy, i'm back on ma'am. and you slow on the data showed that the migration of people from cities to rural areas increased significantly up on berryanne, loaded with malware from 36700000 and 2019. it increased to 40000000 people early in the pandemic pool. but with an online here they, these 40000000 people are more than a quarter of the total workers in indonesia, number of fennel, i buried you, wrap up on people from the cities looked for work in their villages where
8:38 am
agriculture is the dominant industry. but more people in the village means less land to cultivate legally, or decided to go smart, the amount of land that can be legally used as gerald was, when more people move from cities to rural areas, they try to find a new land or well, much of the legal land in the villages has been sold to large companies for mining or large scale agriculture. the villages tried to make a living by illegally farming in the forest. ah, by that do go. ah, i said i can look back sire. in many cases, they believed they had no choice but to turn to illegal land in the forest law by any wrecker guy beside his arkansas. but many people were forced to find new land in the forest to survive along in poland. i'm glad he argued for young, but they can't be fully blamed. the problem is caused by agrarian inequality, which is the main cause of increased deforestation in this country. where he dupon
8:39 am
monica. in march 2020 indonesia lost more than 1200 square kilometers of forest, far more than in previous years. environmentalists a warning of a looming catastrophe. if deforestation continues during the pandemic corrode of i restrictions can many people at home factory production was ramped down on people commuted and travelled less. what impacted that have on greenhouse gas emissions. worldwide reporters spoke to miriam bull from of cdp, europe, and angio that advises companies and cities and governments on how to build a sustainable economy. hello, mrs. moore and go from very nice to meet you. we heard that the emissions decreased during the height of the pandemic and the locked dance. can you tell us, why was just the emotions struck significantly during the pandemic around 8 percent
8:40 am
according to the international energy agency. and actually this is really the missions about the percentage of the emissions needed every year in emissions cuts for the next decade until 2031st to united nations to meet our 1.5. her is target. and the reason for these drops and emissions, because many parts of the world came to a 1st force still stand in order to corrupt the spread of the corporate virus. bringing much of the kilbourne economy activity to a halt. the inactivity affects most the conference petition and obligation, but also of course, industry and related to power generation, causing carbon emissions to decline past a decrease had any significant effect on climate change. no, it has not. the unfortunate answer also the pandemic and resulting invitations on,
8:41 am
you know, cannot make sectors but also travel of course, drastically decrease the absolution and greenhouse gas emissions at large. the decrease has no known term impact. the only thing that will have long term impact is a stomach permanent change. so we have a momentum now and we must ensure that we don't lose the momentum that pandemic might be also near being its end. and to give you one example, cdp has reports, a direct court disclosure between 20202022, an increased from 9600 companies to over 13000 companies reporting de environmental at the time in 2022. that grows illustrates that endemic has not stopped companies around the globe to continue their efforts in, you know, environment to transfer into an action. and this is good news. it is essential to maintain and strengthen businesses, no investors and government commitment as well as of course,
8:42 am
the citizen support to really achieve and continue moving into this just an inclusive and green transition idea, emissions back to the same level as before the pandemic. now, unfortunately, global emissions have rebounded to quite varying levels in 2021 to reach the highest and your level with 6 percent increase from 2020, according again to the international energy agency global energy review. this rebound has reversed the pandemic included decline and emissions. and c, o 2 emissions and 2021 role is above the pre pandemic level. in 2019 coal, for example, accounted for over 40 percent of the oval, gro was in global c o. 2 emissions last year and deforestation, land hughes, and agriculture. and expansion continue to contribute to global emissions with
8:43 am
agriculture, driving almost 90 percent of global deforestation, according to the u. n. food and agriculture organization. so in short, the pandemic did not tell climate action. thank you very much for this interview. ah, the crude of iris makes people sick, and so do you particularly like the virus? they enter the airways and end up deep in the lungs. so is there a connection between fine particulate pollution and coven? 19 d, w. m. i. k is spoke with an expert on fine particulate under health impact. everyone might grab something alum, miss pedro's, this is glitter, let me quickly hold it up to the camera glitter so it's really small. pizza is just the size of the particulate matter. we're talking about 5 stop shop course
8:44 am
. a did find stuff on the fine particulate matter. we're talking about is a bit smaller klein less than 2.5 micro meters on these are and this particular matter is about a millimeter. if you inhaled it, most of it would get stuck in your nose and only a few particles would end up deep in your lung. the dangerous ones that go into your lungs, how bigger they decline as anti these and play and molar than 2.5 micro meters. one millimeter is 1000 micro meter. this is m i n i and milly made her, her towel was new, cool. meter wise. well i brought this stuff along so that we can demonstrate it. so it's $100.00 times smaller than this year. i'm a 1000 times smaller lie and i told my gladstone how wonder they're 100 to a 1000 times small actually. that's amazing. so you can't see it with the make it i hear you. can i see exactly. you can't see it with
8:45 am
a naked eye like some here we have up to 5000 pascals pic cubic centimeter or and if you were to stand at a road with a lot more traffic than you'd get between 50100000 particles per cubic centimeter particular poor cubic centimeter. where does it come from? they're fine stuff. they are fine. particulate matter that can be dangerous to our health is the result of combustion processes. it could be cars. oh, power plant is on coal power plants, all domestic heating. all of these as sources for particulate matter, find stop, drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and people who lived near busy streets with every breath. but in here, millions of potentially dangerous tiny airborne particles that affect their immune systems. i know they're good a studio ha, my colleagues of mine at the barcelona institute for global health carried out a very good study. it showed that people who live in areas with high appellation
8:46 am
levels have a 30 percent higher risk of developing, proven 19, if they're infected with virus soon. so hob own sir carter icy port saint augustine as a mentor, peters and her team are also conducting a large scale study via this. and high to often will now know that fine particulate matter doesn't just affect the lungs, but basically the entire body. i saw that it can contribute to cardiovascular disease, to metabolic diseases. and we also know that fine particulate matter affects the brain. lightest, iona is food to find out whether that leads to higher rates of cove at 19 in a particular region is one question to in i not like you want to contest the i know the other question and see what are the long term effects that city does fine particulate matter also contribute to long povich? for example, i peters and her team study involves 1500 subjects. some of them have had covered 19 yeah, i think own amendment dish. my husband and i had coven last november. my husband
8:47 am
was in the hospital with suspected pneumonia. i was at home, so we were both in isolation, easily. it well, but you're both fine, no, no. me. i'm not really. we both still have trouble walking. we start to sweat when we exert ourselves, we can't handle it and 32 feet long. yeah, right. i'm stay dot, the subjects undergo various tests including a lung function test. many long covered patients have trouble getting an affair, but the medical tests are only part of the study. now, i've been in madison. it t for our ottoman i 05 south admin. right? oh, you didn't have a busy man. the thing the researchers also send out a car that's especially equipped with a kind of funnel on the roof. they're measuring the levels of fine particulate matter where the materials live. d,
8:48 am
or does whom will continue to collect data here in the city of alex blog until the full video then will carry out a quality control process. i am in one to 2 years, will have initial results on fine particulate matter. covey 19, as well as on the various infection control measures. and people's health during the pandemic is one hide via their pond. him he hobbled, am i? the victim is often talented as a one to drag the cove at 19. that's even though the world health organization has said the anti parasitic is unproven. as the treatment officials in mexico city have come into fire after spending millions of euros supplying i've elected to residence with private 19 for 2 years. cloutier. sorry, so took ivr macklin thinking it would protect her from getting corona virus. the 53 year old had read about the d warming agents. suppose it benefits on social media,
8:49 am
but she knew the drug didn't work after she and her husband contracted covered 19 earlier this year. so when a doctor at a public hospital gave them a medical kid that contained diver met him, claudia was skeptical. she says they weren't properly informed and feels that their health was experimented on no one, not only for a month, there was no information from the public health authorities by phone and neither on their home page, nor from the doctors who was he could you feel like they're saying take it and see what happens with the money to pay. long article will go to stomach only. america bizarre. she was one of 200000 patients to receive a medical kid distributed by mexico city officials. that contained, i remarked in, even though the w h jo and the federal government discouraged cobra. 19 treatment with the drug city authorities carried out a survey that looked like a clinical trial to justify its use. the document was published on the open source
8:50 am
platform. so got eve, but in february the article was removed for what sociology, professor juan pablo powder guerra calls, it's deliberately misleading data. clothing missing if you're not required. okay. when was bad idea in addition to the statistical flaws i, my they, which that were tremendous. and remember, the database was very poorly constructed. a l e analysis was biased tools quasi experiment, and the quasi experimental methods generated positive results. valid, was he but they were forcing the data it up for the sandal knows that those city officials defended the distribution of ivory mm. actin. citing its supposedly low risk and cost at an early stage of the pandemic when there was less evidence and fewer available treatments. however, officials declined to give an interview to dw about the ethical questions of
8:51 am
supplying an unapproved drug without providing information to patients. yet public health analyst, javier to hello says city officials agreed to the purchase of nearly $300000.00 packages of ivr marked in worth an estimated $1500000.00. simplest alberta cabin, they looked at the fact that large quantities of the drug were bought, especially when the news of its possible use 1st emerged. lousy because that's a very bad justification from the bicycle, sidney secretary of hell. me for who said it was what they had based on available evidence, but there was no evidence abby, this year, mexico city has stopped distributing, i remarked in, but the drug is still being promoted. byte vaccine, skeptics, misinformation that can cost lives. ah, during the pandemic, many people around the world took comfort in longstanding tradition,
8:52 am
celebrating festivals and reviving old customs helped sustain families and communities. so 2, in the mainly indigenous regions of ecuador every year in june, the indigenous communities of northern ecuador celebrate. indeed, i me, the son festival, although in many parts of the country, this ancient ritual didn't take place during the pandemic. blanca bonia is a traditional healer. she works as a volunteer advisor to local authorities and the quota kaci region. i left with jeff k and korea est our for lack of when we had there were coven cases in the coastal area. and also in other countries. we had a clear plan about what we would do once it reached our region. not though is from one of the hill knife we made lots of positive progress with our experiments
8:53 am
fighting the virus and that they can manipulate in was took that they say and said to me that authorities and catch were villages work hard to maintain a relationship of trust the indigenous communities hierarchical structures are respected and valued. and that didn't change during the pandemic. i'm going to the much, remember was q as a god own. we never thought it would hit us this hard, our country in our communities. we understand me. after the government ordered a lockdown, we had to take matters into our own hands. slim was got but but it wasn't all that hard. read them off with bang. every one here has their own garden. is that every one stores produce opinions for me though i miss, i must say. neither could. conchee canton has a population of roughly 40000 spread across for urban and rural parishes. the main industries, our tourism and agriculture. there were fewer copay infections here than in other
8:54 am
parts of ecuador. you are with me, read you in 20202021. the health office here and called the coach canton, registered 1755 cases. 30 patients died and 1715 patients recovered the 16th of kings. it was yet oh, despite the restriction is in the last 2 years, some remote rural communities chose to celebrate the indeed i me festival of the sun as usual. ah, the visitors at the 11, when the pandemic went global, it also had an impact here in the countryside. it didn't only affect people's health, ineffective celebrations and cultural life. hair in the canton gunther. but the cota catchy is famous for its cultural life and music. there are many artists here
8:55 am
. it was a blow for chance, what the likelihood for some communities and the andes in ecuador, the last 2 years had some benefits. they revived many of the customs of their ancestors. but amelia, my lo method this like to do many of our communities welcome the fact that young people began using medicinal herbs again and it looks governors and because i don't have, i mean totally zealous phantom incentives. but alas for some of you, the most thing a couple for people who live in the countryside of the old plants have medicinal value, must be mental. as in our knowledge was handed down to us by our mothers and grandmothers, as it was received by our elders. by our neighbors immigrant, but we gradually acquiring more expertise and sharing it with other communities. and one of you guys did elevator in the vein help save our lives. and it was incredible if at all, when i went to expedite on june 24th and 25th,
8:56 am
the catch will communities will celebrate. indeed, i me, and the village square's will be filled with life. that's all for this edition of october 19th, special with a focus on the environmental impact of the pandemic. next week, we'll take stock of where things stand in the pandemic right now and check out some of the new research. ok 19 for now. thanks for watching. and see you soon ah ah ah
